Book Descriptions:
This is the first unified treatment in book form of the lower K-groups of Bass and the lower L-groups of the author. These groups arise as the Grothendieck groups of modules and quadratic forms which are components of the K- and L-groups of polynomial extensions. They are important in the topology of non-compact manifolds such as Euclidean spaces, being the value groups for Whitehead torsion, the Siebemann end obstruction and the Wall finiteness and surgery obstructions. Some of the applications to topology are included, such as the obstruction theories for splitting homotopy equivalences and for fibering compact manifolds over the circle. Only elementary algebraic constructions are used, which are always motivated by topology. The material is accessible to a wide mathematical audience, especially graduate students and research workers in topology and algebra.

Lower K- and L-theory (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series) by Andrew Ranicki

From reader reviews:

Wilhelmina Kane:

Do you have favorite book? Should you have, what is your favorite's book? Book is very important thing for us to learn everything in the world. Each guide has different aim or perhaps goal; it means that guide has different type. Some people experience enjoy to spend their the perfect time to read a book. They are reading whatever they have because their hobby is definitely reading a book. Why not the person who don't like studying a book? Sometime, individual feel need book when they found difficult problem as well as exercise. Well, probably you will require this Lower K- and L-theory (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series).

William Fields:

Your reading sixth sense will not betray anyone, why because this Lower K- and L-theory (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series) e-book written by well-known writer we are excited for well how to make book which can be understand by anyone who all read the book. Written with good manner for you, leaking every ideas and creating skill only for eliminate your own hunger then you still uncertainty Lower K- and L-theory (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series) as good book but not only by the cover but also with the content. This is one guide that can break don't determine book by its cover, so do you still needing an additional sixth sense to pick that!? Oh come on your reading sixth sense already said so why you have to listening to one more sixth sense.

Barbera Champ:

Is it anyone who having spare time after that spend it whole day by means of watching television programs or just lying down on the bed? Do you need something totally new? This Lower K- and L-theory (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series) can be the reply, oh how comes? A fresh book you know. You are thus out of date, spending your time by reading in this completely new era is common not a nerd activity. So what these publications have than the others?

Jennifer Fountain:

On this era which is the greater man or who has ability to do something more are more important than other. Do you want to become one among it? It is just simple way to have that. What you must do is just spending your time not much but quite enough to enjoy a look at some books. One of several books in the top checklist in your reading list will be Lower K- and L-theory (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series). This book that is certainly qualified as The Hungry Mountains can get you closer in turning into precious person. By looking right up and review this book you can get many advantages.
